[TowerTalk] Feedthrough Panel Question

Gentleman and ladies.
A few quick feedthrough panel questions a quick look thru the archives
didn't answer
1) I'll be using an Aluminun Plate - how thick?? It'll go thru the wall to
the unheated garage. Shack above and heated. It'll hold maybe 32 UHF type
feedthroughs
2) How far apart can i put the UHF type feedthroughs? I've got from RG-213
to 7/8" hardline, and might even be using some 1 5/8" hardline if the
(surplus) price is right later.
3) should I just mount it vertically?? My contracter and friend thinks maybe
at an angle sloping towards the ground. (this is part of through the shack
out of the house project of my XYLs, so there is all kinds of ongoing
construction)
4) And should I just weather seal the otherside connectors? Considering
building some type of sheet metal weatherproof cover, or is that total
overkill??
thanks and 73
